SZ4 camera problem (XP Pro)

Hi!

I installed an XP Pro to a Vaio SZ4.
I used the drivers from the sz4 drivers.iso.

Installed everything as the installation.doc says, unfortunately the camera application not working. It says an error occured and not start.

I tried the following method too:

'First
From the control panel
1-Select “add hardware”
2-Next
3-Yes, I Have …
4-Next
5-Last one “Add a new hardware device”
6-Next
7-Install the hardware …
8-Next
9-Imaging device
10-Next
11-Have disk
12-Select the place where you unzip the file
13-Select “R5u870fl.inf”
14-Open
15-OK
16-Next
17-Select BT port (com10)
18-Next
19-Next
20-Continue anyway
21-Finish
Now the system recognaize the divaice
1-Go to the device manager
2-Dubel click “usb video device”
3-In the driver tab click “update driver”
4-Install from a list or ..
5-Next
6-Select “don’t search. I will …”
7-Next
8-Select sony visual communication camera VGP-VCC5
9-Next
10-Continue anyway
11-Finish
12-Close
13-In the device manager click with right mouse the sony visual com .. and 14-select uninstall

It will work now

There must be a shorter step to do this but this is the way I did it'

Do you have any idea how can I fix this problem?
(camera works well in Vista Business)

 

The camera works well in skype.
I only have problem with the camera utility.

 

I have downgraded the new Vaio SZ5 to XP, following all the advices of SONY. Everything works fine except the integrated camera VGP-VCC5. The device status reports "This device cannot start. Code 10".

Removing and reinstalling of the driver does not help.

Under the former VISTA installation the camera worked without problems.

Does anybody have similar experience (or - better - solution?)

I followed the above mentioned install sequence.
It works with skype, but I cannot use the Vaio Camera Utility.

Try to install as I described above, then check it with Skype!
